Talking to some guys, Hideo Kojima talked about how Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes will be 2taboo4u and that he isn't even sure if the fucking thing will be released or sell decently.
“I’m going to be treading a lot of taboos, and a lot of mature themes that really are quite risky. Honestly, I’m not even sure if I’ll be able to release the game. Even if I did release the game, maybe it wouldn’t sell because it’s all too much. But as a creator I want to take that risk. As a producer it’s my job to try and sell the game, but I’m approaching this project from the point of view as a creator. I’m prioritising [sic] creativity over sales.”
The fuck? We've already got implied child rape. Then there's almost statutory rape. Then there's cutting law enforcement up into tiny exploding pieces. So what will Ground Zeroes bring to the table? Will Big Boss finally go full-batshit-insane and devour the eyes of war torn orphans while snorting lines of cocaine off of Gray Fox's teenage erect penis?
"Video games as a medium haven't matured very much at all in the last 25 years. [...] Over the past 25 year I have tried to work with the Metal Gear series to introduce more mature themes, but really it hasn't gotten there yet. Compared to movies and books it still has a long way to go."
It's true. He tried so hard with references to poo poo and pee pee. When I first played Metal Gear Solid I was but a boy. Then after watching Snake and Meryl ride off into the sunset I was suddenly had six hungry mouths to feed and a pile of bills to pay. Metal Gear ruined my childhood.
I guess Kojima was tired of the whole "no really guys this is my last one ever, no more after this oh wait lol nevermind" thing and changed it to "no really guys, im not even releasing this one oh wait lol nevermind." This is the dawn of a new age, I suppose.
Sorry to keep you waiting for so long. Unfortunatelly, you'll still have to wait a little longer. In the meantime, here's a preview of things to come. Watch it in HD for full cell shaded glory!:
